Converting a SWF (Flash) file to AVI

Does anyone know of a free resource that can convert a Flash file (produced in Adobe Captivate) to a movie file format - preferably AVI.

Thank you for any help.

Usually a 3rd party program is needed to do that converting.
Never tried this, but a quick google search gave me this: http://www.avi-swf-convert.com/

The very best one I found is not free but is reasonably priced. They used to give a 45 day free trial (no watermarks) followed by an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee. I bought it because it gave me the best quality of about 15 that I tried. I was changing students' PPTs to swf with i-Spring Pro and then from swf to flv or avi to use in Adobe Premeire Elements. Adobe says PE takes swf files, but I have never been able to get them to work.
It's from Bytescout --> http://bytescout.com/swftovideoscout.html. Good luck!

The YouTube Downloader program has the option to convert. I have used it successfully and it runs on any system I have installed it on. Plus, it is free.
